Provence rosé is wonderful. But there’s a whole world of pale, dry, really good rosé being made beyond the south of France - and with another heatwave upon us, this feels like exactly the right moment to let you know about this yummy w**es!
La Rosa Can Sumoi, Catalonia
Pepe Raventós spotted a derelict 17th-century finca on a bike ride and founded Can Sumoi with his childhood friend Francesc. La Rosa is a blend of Sumoll and Xarel-lo grown 600 metres above sea level, with views stretching to the Mediterranean - aromatic, lively and one of our most-reached-for bottles of the season.
Pink Judith Beck, Burgenland, Austria
Judith Beck took over her family’s biodynamic estate on the shores of Lake Neusiedl and never looked back. A blend of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent - crisp and strawberry-bright. Austrian rosé doesn’t get enough credit.
En Cabeza Rosé, Luca Hodgkinson, Chile
Born in Barcelona, trained in Toulouse and Bordeaux, and now making w**e in Chile with zero additives and zero compromise. The En Cabeza is from the soils between the Andes and the Pacific - pale, fresh and full of red fruit with a Provence-like precision and a coastal mineral edge.
Oniric Rosat, Entre Vinyes, Catalonia
Maria and Pep started from scratch in 2012, rescuing old vineyards and restoring the ecosystem around them. Their Oniric Rosat is pale, zesty and packed with strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant, with a touch of fresh herbs and mouthwatering acidity.
Rosé Tillingham, East Sussex
We saved the best until last. From a biodynamic farm in the East Sussex hills - English hedgerow flowers and summer fruit on the nose, bright and refreshing on the palate with a long, elegant finish. The English rosé that might just change how you think about English rosé.
